For your listening pleasure, here's a Spotify playlist I put together of the artists and groups I've picked to hear at the 2024 Rochester International Jazz Festival, both those I heard and those I also noted in the Pick posts.  I tried to look for cuts from their most recent album to make sure it's more likely that what you hear here will be similar to what you'll hear (or have heard) at the RIJF.  They are basically nearly in date order for their appearances at the RIJF (or when I heard them, or will as the festival is just half over).  Once you get hooked, please give'em some love…
